It was founded in approximately 2300 BC. However, the Christian Bible and Jewish Scriptures also reveal that not only did God create the world and everything within it, but God did so because He wanted to share His glory with us.

Through casting our cares upon the Lord, we experience relief, peace, and freedom from the weight of our own troubles.

I remember choosing a college major and panicking over the decision! I would question, “What’s my purpose and how do I get there?” It’s easy to assume purpose is what one does day-to-day, such as a job or career, or another may assume it’s what one is called in a deeper purpose, such as a role or specific service. I tend to think purpose can ebb and flow in different seasons. So while we approach this subject of purpose, let us seek God humbly to lead us to Him. I have a feeling we’ll know more about the purpose the more we draw near to the Lord!

I'd even receive the ashes, hearing "remember you are dust," and think: Yes. I know. I need to do better. I will try; I promise. But that's not what Lent is about at all.Lent isn't God's way of highlighting our failures. It's God's way of drawing us closer to the heart of the gospel—that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Before we could get ourselves together, God was already moving toward us in love.Here are eight ways this season reminds us not of what we lack, but of how deeply we are loved.Photo Credit: ©Unsplahs/Annika Gordon Sat, 24 Jan 2026 14:00:00 -0500 2026-03-31T02:00:28-04:00 https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-terms/why-does-the-bible-talk-about-god-being-exalted.html https://www.christianity.com/wiki/christian-terms/why-does-the-bible-talk-about-god-being-exalted.html Tim Suddeth https://www.christianity.com/author/tim-suddeth/ To be exalted means to be raised up or lifted high. When the Bible talks of God being exalted, it means that people recognize His supreme authority, majesty, and holiness.

When we seek to understand the character of our Creator, our lives will begin to reveal His protective hand. A foundational relationship with our Father in heaven can be established because of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. With His death, the temple curtain was torn, and we were all granted access to the One True God. In the think of life’s unfairness, He stands by our side. Through our mistakes and missteps, His back never turns on us. In our triumphs, He awaits the first high-five of praise. We don’t have to fix or become better versions of ourselves to start hearing from God. He loves each of us for who we are, right now. Though some of the ways He speaks to us today are incomprehensible, here are ten that we can trust expectantly.
